Cunningham and Smith named for Glen Elder scholarships

GLEN ELDER – The Glen Elder Community Club has awarded two $300 scholarships in 2025. The scholarship fund was originally established in 1999 through the efforts of our community’s special history committee and the subsequent sales of the Glen Elder Family History book. Memorial donations have been received in honor of Charlie Parker, Gail Weidenhaft and Lyle McPeak, all long-time much respected residents of the community.

The recipients this year are Jace Cunningham and Gabe Smith.

Jace Cunningham is the son of Terry and Crystal Cunningham. Jace plans to attend Kansas Wesleyan University and major in Business Administration.

Gabe Smith is the son of Jake Smith and Alisha Miller. Gabe plans to attend Manhattan Technical College and become a Journey Lineman. 

“Glen Elder Community Club is overjoyed to be able to continue this scholarship program,” they said. “We are so proud of our winners that represent Glen Elder academically and in community service. If you’d like to contribute towards the scholarship fund, you can mail in a donation with your community club dues.”
